this is fairly useless. if he has been losing a ton of course everyone is gonna say he sucks and has been playing bad. they dont know what hes had, how colddecked hes been and all the other stuff. ive seen ugly variance (from myslelf and roommate) and heard from others like joshw and bk. i believe it.

dean, you simply dont understand long term implications of lhe. you sit back, smug and superior, bc it hasnt happened to you. the reason is that you havent played nearly as many hands as the rest and have been far luckier. gawd i remember when u lost 250bb and felt the world was ending. gimme a fckn break.

Vic I asked a question, I'm genuinely curious - if a bunch of peopel come out and say they havent noticed any bad play over the past couple of months that makes the variance angle much more likely. Fwiw I dont everyone would think someone sucks just based on them losing, I base my impressions of a player on how they play their hands (may well be some link to how well you run tho, but it isnt the be all and end all)

considering daryn has always thought hock sucked its apparent opponents views of others is very very very skewed. thats all im getting at.

look at all the discussion in other threads wondering how alexsem, tiger76, pokkermon, hoss etc win. sometimes great players play far beyond others comprehension. when i say all high stakes players are lagmonkeys its a joke bc whatever they do its above me. to think that your opponents at that level can accurately assess how a great player is playing is asinine. if hock is truly great, then the grinding regulars are simply not gonna understand why.

also, dean, you are allegedly a winner and great player but you gave me some absolutely atrociously terrible advice in the past that cost me decent money. not on a single hand, but from an overall standpoint. i dont blame you in any way as i should have the confidence and talent to accurately assess my game.
